• Commerce Server Documentation Update Link?

  The following link was briefly alive on MSDN yesterday which purported to contain an October update of the CS 2007 documentation. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=d43352eb-4ccd-42f3-8db3-0362f94364f2&DisplayLang=en However the 'download' link did not function. Now the link itself seems to be MIA. As we are always anxious for CS documentation updates, especially ones that can update the help files within the product itself, it would be great to hear when this will be really available. Thanks guys. Commerce Server 2007 Documentation Update 1 is now available for download at http:// www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=eb8a5fa5-8b21-4abf-aa84-15f85c6a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Organization Chart with WPF

  I'm currently working on a Organization Chart project. Organization Data is being taken from a web service. So far I've been working with a tree view control, doing a binding to the xml data with a HierarchicalDataTemplate. Each TreeViewItem is being composed with a Label defining a Style on it. I still don't know how to show the levels horizontally instead of vertically as a TreeView usually does, or how to hide the (+) symbol. I would also prefer the Labels to have a more "Button-like" style. I'd appreciate some advice on what kind of control should I use to show this information. Thanks! <Style x:Key="HorizontalTreeItem" TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}"> <Sett ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Very Slow resuming from Hibernation and problem with FN keys and Touchpad

  Hey Since i installed Vista i've been getting a number of problems: 1. Whenever i try to resume from Hibernation it takes a long time. First the screen goes blank then if i try to press the power key nothing happens. After about 2mins or so then the computer resumes. Also it takes ages to shut down. 2. The FN keys such as increasing sound or brightness does not work anymore. The functions such as scrolling on the touchpad do not work as well. Can anyone tell me if these are common problems or is it just my comp. I have a Viao VGN-FS980. And could someone help me. Thanks. The best place to ask would probably be over at the communities: www.microsoft.com/communities since these ...Show All

• SQL Server Horizontal Lists

  I'm trying to get a list of items from an ADO.NET dataset into a list to look thusly John, Jane, Tom, Susan The dataset contains duplicate items for John & Susan. I only want the name to appear once in the list; so I've used the hide duplicates property of the list.The expression for the name text box contains =Fields!Name & IIF(CountRows("CustomerName")<>RowNumber("CustomerName"), ",", "") The list renders as John, Jane, Tom, Susan, Susan. I'm guessing the value is evaluated before visibility in the report rendering so it's not *technically* a duplicate value. Is there another way to achieve what I'm after ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions create a control

  I need to know how i can create a control, to control an array of something (in example, sockets or checkboxes) In another post i've seen that i have to create de control and a container How does it works I would enjoy all information! Thanks! You would rarely, if ever, create a container. The Panel, Form and UserControl classes are containers and almost always do what you want. You'd use a UserControl to host a bunch of CheckBoxes. However, for sockets you'd use a class since a .NET socket is not a control. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Pre Deployment occurs after database is created

  The pre deployment scripts occur after the database is dropped and recreated. If the database is replicated the drop fails because the script doesn't check if the database is replicated before dropping. I have a script that removes replication but I can't get it to run before the drop database occurs. Is there any way I can get a script to run before the drop database command is fired. ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Why are all the pushpins in the SDK demos misplaced?

  I am curious why the pushpins in all of the Interactive SDK samples are not properly handled. As you zoom in and out on the map, the point that the pushpin is pointing to moves. For example, bring up the Interactive SDK and select Use pushpins->Add a default pushpin from the left menu. A pushpin is placed on the map pointing near the northern border of Nebraska. Now zoom out once. The pushpin is now pointing to the center of Nebraska. Zoom out again and the pushpin is in Kansas! The reason is because it is positioning the center of the pushpin image, not the "point". This is easily fixed with CSS styles, which can be embedded in the HTML sample code. The same occurs on all the other samples I have looked at. I am using Firefox ...Show All

  Hi, Simple question...is it possible to have a route with multiple stops on it. I don't want to just go from A to B, I want to go from A to B to C to D. Is there something I'm missing or is this a fundamental omission Hope someone knows Cheers I asked Alex Daley ( http://blogs.msdn.com/virtualearth/default.aspx ) from the Virtual Earth team and he said there are no plans to include support for routes with more than two points on the Virtual Earth Mapping Control at this point. ...Show All

As far as i understood, is pretty hard to create custom textbox, derived from textbox control, so, i need textbox, with little less borders, and with custom colors, anyway, how to make it, that my Custom TextBox have one border(Top) with custom color Any ideas Hi Vitalijus, if you want to make your own custom controls with your own look and feel then you can override the OnPaint and OnPaintBackground methods in your class which derive from TextBox.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Drastic FPS fall,when rendering QUAD

  Hello guys, I've been working on my 3D directx game for a while and I've recently added QUAD(ship cockpit), inversly transformed to VIEW, so its like GUI. However, I am encountering big fall FPS - well normally my time delay between frames is 17 ms, but when I render quad it jumps to 50 'ms'. What's strange is that rendering tha quad + needed preRender+postRender takes just 6 'us'. So why is there 5000x longer delay. Moreover, I've noticed that I can bypass time delay increase by rendering quad without being scaled and transformed to [0,0,1]=> (further to the front) position - there is no TIME INCREASE...but then the "cockpit image" takes just 30% of the screen and so it is not very realistic. Some info about the imag ...Show All
